RADISSON BLU RESORT GALLE, RADISSON HOTEL COLOMBO, AND RADISSON HOTEL KANDY SIMULTANEOUSLY ACHIEVE PREMIUM, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SAFEHOTELS CERTIFICATION
Radisson Blu Resort Galle, Radisson Hotel Colombo, and Radisson Hotel Kandy have achieved the prestigious Safehotels Premium Level Certification, marking a significant milestone as all three properties attain the highest certification category offered by Safehotels for the first time together. Awarded by Safehotels Alliance AB, an internationally recognized hotel safety and security certification organization established in Sweden, this achievement underscores the trio of hotels’ commitment to providing guests with safe, secure, and reassuring hospitality experiences.
Established in 2001, Safehotels provides independent safety and security certification for hotels worldwide, with a presence in more than 70 countries and 175 cities. Its certification programme is designed to assess and verify hotel safety and security standards against the Safehotels Global Hotel Security Standard. The programme evaluates a property’s preparedness, operational procedures, and ability to maintain a secure environment for guests, employees, and visitors.
The certification process involves a comprehensive on site assessment conducted by experienced Safehotels auditors. This includes detailed property walkthroughs, visual inspections, face to face interviews with relevant management and team members, and the testing and inspection of selected fire safety and security systems and equipment. Hotels are also required to submit supporting documentation covering fire safety, security, and crisis management procedures, emergency plans, and relevant service records. Following the assessment, a detailed report identifies the certification outcome and any corrective actions required to meet the prescribed standards.
Achieving the Premium Level Certification demonstrates that all three Radisson properties have successfully met the rigorous assessment requirements, reflecting their commitment to maintaining effective safety and security practices across critical operational areas, including emergency preparedness, fire safety, crisis management, and overall hotel security. The certification is valid for one year, with annual reassessments ensuring that certified properties continue to uphold the required standards.
Commenting on this significant achievement, Mr. Kristofer Quadros, Cluster General Manager for the portfolio, stated:
“We have consistently maintained the Safehotels standards across our three properties, and achieving the highest Premium Level certification simultaneously at all three hotels marks a significant milestone for us. This accomplishment reflects the dedication and collective efforts of our teams in creating safe and secure environments for our guests, team members, and assets. We remain committed to continually strengthening our safety and security practices while delivering the exceptional hospitality experiences our guests expect from us.”
With this achievement, Radisson Blu Resort Galle, Radisson Hotel Colombo, and Radisson Hotel Kandy further reinforce their position as trusted hospitality destinations in Sri Lanka. The milestone highlights the Trio of Radisson hotels’ continued dedication to responsible hotel operations, internationally recognized safety standards, and guest wellbeing, ensuring that every stay is supported by the reassurance of a safe and secure environment.
